Port Charles

First of all, welcome back to life Lesley Lu “Lulu” Spencer after she spent the last four years in a coma. 

She has lost a whole lot of things going on whilst being heavily treated at the hospital and later in a clinic (Turning Woods) lately before she had to run away from her newly discovered uncle (Cyrus Renault) once Lulu was finally awake. But at least, she got to see her son again who is now grown as a teenager named Rocco as well as Dante (who also spent some down time with best mate Cody) and also her big family. 

I don’t know what the chances are of her trying to get Charlotte back but there’s a big catch though when you got Jack Brennan having a secret connection with her father Valentin because of the Pikeman business deals, etc.

Shoutout to NZ actor Charles Mesure by the way who plays Jack the local WSB agent & yes, his character does have dark side to it at times – watch out Carly!! 

But then Jack is a bit like Jesper Jacks aka Jax of course when it comes to this chemistry he’s got with Carly together.

Meanwhile, there’s no surprise to see Ava getting away with it following her win at the court house v Kristina, thanks to that ruthless attorney who turned orchestrated her defense in none other than Ric Lansing. 

What that means now that Ava can still see her daughter Avery as Sonny can’t do anything about now to reject those requests. 

Plus, Kristina still upset following her loss with her sister Molly not wanting any of the pain she’s been suffering for far long now including the potential separation of her partner TJ. 

She told him honestly the other day that she does not want another child anymore at the wake of this tragedy as her body wasn’t able to do so on it own after she kept her grief from him – and yet we still see two sisters arguing at each other. 

It’s a shame that won’t go away any time soon because Molly’s dad is Ric and Kristina’s dad is Ric’s brother Sonny unless we would really know who is the better father or not – just gonna leave that there like TJ has done a few times now on Molly.

What else? Drew Cain needs to calm down as why not he sees Scout remotely while in Washington DC? and when he comes back to Port Charles, he can spend more time with her too. But right now it’s not a good look, especially at the expense of Curtis by going behind his back. But then, Michael is also in trouble for his own reasons with Sasha lately & Sasha now carries the baby with his fingerprints on it. 

Kai still having trouble with Trina when it comes to his commitment with the art project they’ve working on together for the school at PCU while prioritising his Football career (not soccer). Even if his next match may not go well which I think what the writers are planning to do, there’s one thing he really wants to go after for sure & that is love with Trina over Football.

Speaking of Trina via her mom Portia, she’s also still not happy with Brad as this was more personal off the back of things Brad has done wrong several years ago that angered Lucas. At the end of the day though, Portia needed to be professional as advised by her husband’s aunt Stella and Brad has got what he wanted thanks to his good work at the GH lab.

And finally, we finish things off with a day to celebrate from Deception Cosmetics during that Home and Heart Infomercial program presentation. There wasn’t much going on until a paid voice actress that Tracy hired has fired up Lois before she stood up for herself and suddenly, it’s raining sales that skyrocketed to an all-time high – I mean, how good!!

Sure you’ve heard this several times Rena Sofer who has been on our Aussie screens for many years when she was on Bold & The Beautfiul as Quinn Ryder on Network 10 before she came back to GH as Lois last year. Glad we’ll get to see Rena again Down Under when this iconic ABC soap will back here also on 10 but only on-demand online next month for the first time in 15 years.

For now, bring on next week with lots of Christmas scenes at Rice Plaza.

Goodbye November/Fall, Hello December/Winter to Port Charles as things are about to get busy and also messy for some but first, let’s look back from the best of November 2024 on General Hospital.

My number 1 moment of course belongs to Holly and Robert having overcame their issues when it comes to their newly discovered daughter in Sasha Gilmore. But hey, that would eventually do the trick when Robert decided to choose Holly for their unfinished business adventures together over Diane – I mean, how sweet!!

Then there was Jason Morgan punching his twin brother Drew in defense of Michael over Drew’s affair with Willow & Jason has done it without saying a single word – less talk, more action.

With Chad Duell now decided to leave the role of Michael, things will definitely change but probably for the worse unless the writers plan to move him out of town — since his grand plans to kick out Drew wouldn’t go well because his one-night affair with Sasha led to her pregnancy.

Lulu back in action right away even when she finally woke up from a four year coma but that’s because the person she first saw was someone who also previously put her in a coma following that floating rib explosion that she was in prior to her downfall.

When it comes to relationships other than Robert and Holly, not so much. Although you can point out the awkward and slow burner pairing between a star athlete and an intelligent student and artist in Kai and Trina. I also know the writers are pinning on Liz with Lucky after some trials a few months ago with the returning Ric, but then some fans aren’t buying the idea again unless it’s Jason. Here’s the word of advice, Liz would be best served as the single mother with her grown boys alone.

Plus, good to hear Lucas Jones being relieved when he thought he made his sister Sam die other than the fact that someone else has organised her medication wrong prior to her death. 

There’s Isaiah sticking around when he was there as a friend to Lucky & sure that will continue with Jordan Ashford on his radar. And Ava continues to be so regretful with her words the whole way through as if she went to the gym ahead of her trial v Kristina, we shall find out the verdict if this would pay off for Ric or not.

Didn’t know this week’s GH show was rarely short due to Thanksgiving public holiday tomorrow (a repeat episode) as well as College Football Friday by the show’s network property ABC in the USA. But anyways what we did learn in this three-day week slate of episodes from Port Charles?

Lulu is at it again this time able to get out of the Turning Woods clinic as if she was finally able to start that old car going and there she goes from place to place.

Didn’t know someone who just got out of a four year coma was preparing for something else like the New York Marathon, even though it will take time for her liver to get back up and running. Yes, maybe she thinks she wasn’t feeling good from someone who has put her life in danger from none other than Cyrus Renault as if she thinks she was locked up in Cassadine Island. 

He was the one who exploded the floating rib a few years ago despite being a changed man now after he served some time in jail with his faith in god & the bible.

But again, Lulu is living in the spirit of Sam after all back in action following her successful transplant. For Sam, there was nothing wrong though following the donor surgery other than a drug overdose being mismanaged unfortunately as per autopsy review. 

Then Lulu successfully hitchhiked a ride with Cody Bell before not only she broke into her good mate Maxie’s house with James West in it but she also later eventually went around the Quartermaine estate via overhearing Gio’s violin practice sessions & now her son Rocco became the first person who recognised her once she entered the Q mansion.

Speaking of the Q’s, there’s more than just Lulu with not one but two new babies coming our way in Port Charles.

One is Finn’s brother Chase who fell in love with Brook Lynn once again in bed as they are more than certain now of having a baby together. Meanwhile, Michael secretly recorded Drew the other day about Curtis in order to let Curtis know about the real truth that would pretty much kick Drew out of the Aurora Media family business for good. But again, that may backfire because Sasha Scorpio is now pregnant following his one-night stand with her out from a bar lately – oh my!

As per announcement from other day about Chad Duell leaving the show as Michael, looks like Michael will be out of town for a while; but like we are about to see with Finn and Liz, the Millow show would be bound to end at the right time.

And last but not least, we got a court case up and running between Kristina v Ava following their heated exchange back in August – this resulted in Kristina with not only suffering a few injuries but also lost the baby she’s been carrying for sister Molly & her partner TJ Ashford. 

But there’s one man out there who has been stealing the spotlight with extreme force as if he’s speeding at 200mph and it’s Molly’s dad Ric Lansing who is representing Ava as her lawyer. 

So sorry for Kristina having to be so emotional for nearly the whole time but then the judge let Ric say anything that could possibly let win his case for Ava in order to get what he wants. I know, but don’t have much confidence there for Kristina to pull off there unfortunately.

Oh, also going into next week, looks like Molly is having a breakdown with TJ that could mark the end of their relationship together. Also, the custody battle still goes on with one of Sam’s kids and all Drew wants is for Scout to be with him despite not being around all the time – good luck with that. And for the minute, Lucky is still holding onto the lead with Liz’s heart –  there’s still some sections of the fanbase being utterly disappointed with this once pairing again even after no more Finn. I don’t know what more do they want other than Jason again but maybe just let her live happily ever after only with her boys.

Also from this morning, another of General Hospital’s long-time acting talents will be leaving Port Charles soon — his name is Chad Duell who has been playing the role of Michael Corinthos over the last 14 years that goes back to 2010. 

Unlike Kelly Monaco, this was his decision alone as he will be moving onto the next chapter of his life, especially being a father for a year now to his little boy with his Brazilian partner Luana Lucci.

Although his time on the show has been met with scheduling issues in recent years when Robert Adamson – through Noah from The Young & The Restless – has been filling in for him at times including this year and also back in 2022 when he had health issues related to COVID at the time.

It remains to be seen if Adamson will be part of GH going forward permanently or have someone else replace Chad or even worse have Michael being written off like they did to Kelly Monaco’s Sam.

We all know what Michael is known for his angry overreactions every time things happen to him for the worse that affects his family the most including him being betrayed by Willow for falling in love with his uncle Drew – despite her mom Nina also in a relationship with Drew thanks to him being a congressman, so he can look and feel good now that he has won the election. 

He may also try to get him out of the Aurora Media family business for good in collaboration with Curtis but we also know he has been sleeping at least one time with another woman from one of his previous lovers in Sasha and looks like he could unexpectedly yet get another baby that she may be carrying after their one-night stand together lately.

But whatever that may be, looks like it’s the beginning of the end of Millow soon enough. Although not holding by breath just yet when whoever also works with Mattsson  will be thrown into the deep end for the viewers feedback if the show does want to keep Michael alive by someone else at some point. The same will go with Adamson if he goes wish to go full-time as he’s been with Willow’s Katelyn MacMullen a few times but not so much with Mattsson. For now, we wish Chad the best of luck on life after Port Charles & will also miss his videos with Sonny’s Maurice Bernard too who is his on-screen father.

So what did we learn this week (between November 18-22) on General Hospital? There’s more post-Sam drama even after her funeral like the custody battle to look after Danny and Scout. 

But one thing for sure is that Jason will be moving into the Quartermaine mansion after all to care both of her kids and so would Dante and his kid Rocco, so they can stay all in the one place together – no matter how rich that mansion is because at the end of the day, they’re all family.

How good & sweet!

So that leaves Drew out of the picture altogether as yes, he is related through Scout as the father; but then we also know he’s on thin ice for the all wrong reasons in recent months like his affair with Willow – despite being with Nina because her husband is his nephew Michael. 

Thank god, it’s not happening as Drew will be off to Washington DC very soon following his election win – but with no guarantees though, more on that later.

Meanwhile, someone finally woke up out of a coma after four long years in the spirit of Sam’s liver upon Alexa Havins’s long-awaited debut, and it’s Lesley Lu “Lulu” Spencer. The first person she has seen and heard though was her uncle Cyrus Renault who she did not enjoy talking to back then when he was running a crime syndicate and he was also behind that floating rib explosion back in late 2020. Sure, he’s a changed man out of jail since then over the last year or two thanks to his huge devotion to God, Jesus and the bible. 

But then she doesn’t know for sure just yet when she faked herself going back into a coma for a bit before she actually tried to make her way out of a clinic as if she’s in jail that a changed Cyrus actually arranged to help his niece get back into life. Like her mom Laura and her dad Luke, she did show extreme bravery like a true Spencer even though she fell herself on the ground once — as yes, things will take time to get back on track before she can find her way out physically. 

However, based on these preview photos for the show’s upcoming episodes, it looks like Lulu is back in action & smiling as a healthy adult woman once again. Okay yes, we can say all we want about Kelly Monaco but again, we hope she will get another acting job.

Speaking of the Spencer family clan, Lucky is still not sure whether if he wants to go back to Africa or not by sticking around a bit longer with Liz by his side. He will be reunited with Lulu any minute from now, as well as spending a bit more time via his child that Liz shares in Aiden. 

Also going back earlier, it also looks like Michael’s grand plans to expose Drew with Curtis may backfire when Sasha has a pregnancy test kit in her handbag after she finished having breakfast with her newly-discovered & extended Scorpio family like Felicia and Mac at Bobbie’s Diner, and she may be carrying the baby with Michael’s fingerprints on it off the back of their one-night stand lately. 

Looks like the Millow show is hanging in the balance after all finally in my opinion as who gets out first? Watch this space.

Elsewhere, it’s still a slow burner between Trina Robinson & another African-American person Kai Taylor. She’s still not impressed with how Kai has been making excuses after excuses with her favoured art project when he’s still an extremely gifted-talented athlete in College Football & has a 24/7 time table. He’s not that bad though as Josslyn is right, don’t jump the gun too soon — and they seem to have something in common together after all, which is them not being able to sleep that much.

Although again as always said with the current potential Liz and Trina love pairings, just gonna leave that there.

And the Kristina v Ava court case begins next week with Ric representing Ava as her lawyer while Alexis despises him for walking into her property earlier this week – despite him dropping off for the daughter they share together in Molly.

Will Ava go to jail for letting Kristina trip that piece of luggage bag and then got fallen off a window that resulted the baby’s death Kristina’s been carrying for her sister? or is it rather Kristina who shouldn’t gone to her first and then didn’t know something so worse after that fall?

Maybe the script Ava’s been practising might do the trick but Kristina though has been suffering for far too long that affected her loved ones both physically & mentally. 

We’ll find out soon enough that could either see Ava take over everything or Kristina walk away with maybe nothing including Molly or somehow victorious after all & Sonny able to look after Avery 100% with a safe pair of hands.

What have we’ve learned this week between November 11-15 on the General Hospital soap? I love seeing Robert reunite with Holly to make up lots of lost time before they head off overseas together after we’ve discovered lately that they’re parents after all to Sasha Gilmore aka Miss Scorpio. I, for one, would love to see the whole family get along together for one big occasion including Ethan if Sasha can at least settle her differences aside from her newly-discovered mom when Holly and Robert get back to Port Charles at some stage. For Diane, felt sorry for her but that’s soaps & sure she will get a new man soon.

Meanwhile, as everyone said, Drew got what he deserved with another punch to his face thanks to his twin brother “Stone Cold” Jason Morgan, all because he keeps on constantly banging on his nephew’s wife Willow while also in a relationship with her mom Nina. 

The good news that Drew is off to Washington D.C now that he won the election lately in place of the late senator Larry McConkey who unfortunately passed away a few months ago over a heart attack while out of town, so he won’t have to anything about it to Willow. However, the bad news is will this effectively end the marriage between Michael and Willow? 

For me personally, yes; but they’re both married remember with two little children together in Wiley and Amelia. It’s going to be difficult for them to go their separate ways unfortunately unless the show decides to do something about it and that would take a bigger effort to see them get divorced while they would have to settle for a child-custody agreement to spend time with their kids. Therefore, the Millow couple show will go on at least for a bit longer.

Plus, looks like Trina has a new man on her radar now and this time it’s someone similar to her African-American background rather than like the ever popular Spencer Cassadine – his name is star College Football Quarterback player (not soccer) Kai Taylor.

I know Trina looks irate who thinks he should take his academic work more seriously much like his athletic career. But hey, he’s a gifted-athletic star in the making whom everyone likes and surely, Trina at some point may as well get along with him or maybe not? We’ll see but looks like it will be a slow burner for a start before the lovebirds would potentially begin for both Kai Taylor & Trina Robertson where one is athletically gifted and talented and another is also talented but only in the academic side of things. I will not give my say on this though since I used to enjoy watching “Sprina” when I first watched GH back in August 2021 and still am everyday as hope is all well with Josslyn’s portrayer Eden McCoy.

Speaking of love, who is winning the hearts of Liz Webber-Baldwin also? Don’t know but looks like still Laura’s boy Lucky Spencer has the lead upfront, even though he still wishes to go back to Africa and Liz wasn’t thrilled every single bit about it – especially at the expense of Aiden whom they share a child together. 

Also judging by her character’s comments, looks like not all Liz fans are happy to see them pair up together again unlike once upon a time during the golden late 90s-early 2000s. There’s still some #FreeLiz hashtags across the board even when Michael Easton left as Finn several months ago as yes, Liz still got the lead in some parts. But again, maybe a Liason reunion with Jason would be more like it though as likewise with the Kai-Trina pairing, I’m just going to leave that there.

Going into next week in the wake of Sam’s death, there will be a funeral as well as Lulu finally out of a coma for the first time in four years following that floating rib place explosion. Will we also see the other Davis sisters Molly and Kristina get back on track together after all this in-fighting in recent times? I can see this for a start from the other day when Kristina brought a birthday gift for Molly at Bobbie’s Diner, but I’m not entirely sure when Molly’s dad is Ric and Kristina’s dad is Ric’s brother Sonny alongside Mom Alexis. 

This upcoming court case between Kristina v Ava (represented by Ric) will determine their fate as sisters together.

And oh, also good to see Isaiah Gannon there too who is set for a longer stay in Port Charles with some more love alongside the city’s Deputy Mayor in Jordan Ashford after he was offered a job at the hospital as a surgeon – despite operating on Sam alongside her brother & fellow surgeon Lucas lately to save Lulu.

So what we did look back this week (November 4-8) on General Hospital? 

Everyone in Port Charles is still mourning the loss of Sam McCall even though her surgeon brother Lucas Jones felt guilty about it when he recently performed surgery on his sister to save Lulu with that liver transplant before things went horribly wrong after Sam died over a heart attack/cardiac arrest. But as we all know, this has already been tied up to her portrayer’s sad exit in Kelly Monaco – that’s all we can say. We still also don’t know when Alexa Havins will have her first on-air scenes as the recasted & now recovered Lulu, but it’s been a while since this announcement.

Sidwell is back after all this time in Port Charles to steal Sasha away because she’s related to her newly discovered mom Holly Sutton, so he can try get these diamonds back. Although he was happy to receive them when Jason Morgan came in on her behalf to save Sasha, there still wasn’t a lot of time left as he and his men set the timer up ahead of the warehouse bomb explosion. Yes, it did explode but fortunately, glad to hear that they’re both safe and sound as don’t know where Sidwell went with this. Like any other relationship, time will tell if Sasha will accept Holly for who she is so they can start over again as mom and daughter.

Meanwhile, looks likely than ever that it’s the end of Michael and Willow – despite having a good young family together with two little kids. She has been having an affair with Drew quite a while and yet another emotional breakdown after his daughter Scout lost her mom Sam, they decided to fall in love once again this time upstairs in the Quartermaine mansion. 

They think they’re trying their best to keep it to themselves but Michael did see this unfortunately with huge anger when he saw the clip off a baby monitor app. 

Lots of soap couples come and go remember, so keep an eye on this one soon enough. Maybe Michael would go back with Sasha amid rumours of Sasha carrying that new baby after their one night stand last week and Willow should go with someone else (please not Drew!).

And last but not least, great to hear that Dr. Finn – even off-screen – is doing fine with his daughter Violet over in Seattle after he completed his 90-day rehab program. Chase and Brook Lynn talked about this as now it’s a good time to finally start their own family with kids together.

Here’s another hot topic General Hospital fans have been speculating as of late and the question is will Sasha get another baby? Yes, she had one once before with Brando who was later killed by Heather Webber with a hook months later, but then baby Liam was so ill upon her giving birth before he was sadly passed away.

First of all, Sasha became so drunk along with Michael at a bar in one of the episodes earlier this week after they were both unhappy on the latest of their own respective lives. Then they both fell love in each other into bed overnight before they suddenly didn’t realise what they were doing once Sasha & Michael woke up the next morning. 

Time flies so fast doesn’t it? Despite the fact Michael was cheated by Willow for kissing his nephew Drew while Drew was still in a relationship with her mom Nina & Sasha can’t love Cody anymore because her new mom Holly said that they’re now discovered to be first cousins.

Since most soap couples come and go including Sam and Dante off the back of Kelly Monaco’s controversial exit the other day, with Sam now written off following surgery gone wrong for Lulu, it would be no surprise if Michael and Willow be up next – even though they’re both currently married & also have two kids together.

Yes, this is going to hurt the kids at least for a while but GH has been there & done that with other families before – so going to be a bit of a surprise if they’ll go with Michael and Sasha again this time as new parents to that new baby Sasha is rumored to be carrying. Their respective portrayers’ Chad Duell loves being a dad when his child was born earlier this year with his new partner from Brazil and so does Sofia Mattsson who has also been a mother for a few years with not one but two kids now.

Yes, at the end of the day, looks like Michael and Willow have ran its course thanks to their own affairs with other people as Michael to move back with a new Scorpio family member there in Sasha including an unborn child together – so make that a family of 3 + 2 more from Willow.

Time will tell over the next few days to weeks if and when Willow will eventually find out about Michael and Sasha’s one-night stand that would make her cry even more – despite Willow being so guilty with regret based on her interactions from Drew.

Lots to process on what has been a huge month of October 2024 in Port Charles where we saw a couple of surprises that affects families the most, plus one widely-expected exit off the back of a controversial casting decision as we know it back in late August (two months ago).

First of all, it’s sad to see Kelly Monaco and her character Sam McCall go after 21 years on this set that goes way back to 2003 when Kelly came over from GH’s past spin-off show Port Charles via her previous role of Livvie Locke. Her character recently underwent surgery for Lulu who was seen as a viable donor with Lulu desperately needed a new liver in order to keep her alive following that floating rib explosion back in late 2020. For Lulu, she will be fine after being put in a coma over the last few years upon her successful liver transplant with Alexa Havins set to begin her shift any minute from now; but not for Sam unfortunately due to a heart attack/cardiac arrest following the surgery. Yes, it’s still sad but hoping Kelly will be back on our screens soonest whether it’s back on GH, another soap or even elsewhere on prime-time TV.

Who’s up next? Robert and Holly? With a new long-lost child they’ve had together in Sasha? Yes, that’s true in more ways than one when Holly recently turned up at the Quartermaine Mansion, with Sasha being so furious at her newly-discovered mom considering Holly abandoned her from the moment she was born while being tricked to believe her long-lost dad was dead at the time. The news also meant the unfortunate couple demise of Sasha and Cody as a couple together since they’re now revealed to be first cousins – more on Cody later. But for now, we finally know who Sasha’s parents are via the Scorpios.

Speaking of Cody, he finally revealed to the world earlier this week at a bar while drunk on what a horrible human being Drew Cain is, when Drew kissed his nephew’s (Michael) wife Willow not once but twice during early July while in a relationship with Willow’s long-lost mom Nina. Didn’t see that coming there but it’s hard to say this time around though since Michael & Willow are married with two little kids together in Wiley & Amelia.

Plus, Sidwell is still on the run when someone like Lucky should’ve ended him while escaping from his compound cell in Africa alongside Jason & Anna. But Sidwell’s portrayer Carlo Rota (foodie lover) hasn’t been doing the scenes in Port Charles just yet, so looks like he’ll stick around a bit longer (recurring basis) before his character will eventually meet his fate most likely from Sonny & Jason to protect Holly. 

Liz always still here everyday at the Hospital as head nurse while competition is still up for grabs from men to win over her hearts. Also, Heather Webber is free as a bird now from Pentonville jail at the grounds of her medical condition, even though she killed a few people two years ago with a hook. 

But the good news though is that she’ll move and stay far, far away from Port Charles as she’s off to Sedona in California with her son Steven – going to miss Alley Mills though who has been on our Aussie screens for many years via Bold and the Beautiful as Pamela Douglas much like Lois’s Rena Sofer as Quinn. And also going further West, Violet also moved there too in Seattle to reunite with her dad Finn who just finished his 90-day rehab, as good to hear that Finn has now picked up a new medical job. Now that won’t change anything to bring Michael Easton back on-set but maybe Violet as we wish them all well.

That’s all I can think of over the last few weeks from Port Charles on top of GH coming back to our Aussie shores lately that will begin on January 1, 2025 thanks to Network 10 who will be airing the episodes online. For now, roll on November with so much to play for over the next few weeks ahead of the final month in December 2024.
